I cracked...Finally an 11.8sec, 1.7 60footers on crappy nexen rubber on stock 16's.....350rwkw

It's to do with launching and gear changes. If I had micky t drag radials........???? yee ha time??

I used to get low 12's with 296rwkw, but I am not a professional drag racer.....

For example, that night the Riggolli boys were there with a 32 GTR, single turbo, stock eng 400HP at the rears, shitty tires with big wheels. Low 11s easy. They can drive and make the most of their equipment.

im looking at 300-330awk so just wondering with enough practice what quater mile speed is possible

330kw should be an easy 11.2 - 11.5. I cracked an 10.90 with about 350awkw.

Have done about 20 passes all on standard box and no dramas yet, fingers crossed lol

Definitely need 300awkw+ for an 11 sec 1/4.

Stock boxes are like a lucky dip when it comes to drag racing.... MMulti plate clutches don't help keep them alive, plus helps if you are nice on the 2nd to 3rd gear change.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
